The Le Creuset Silicone Craft Medium Spatula is an ideal size utensil for sauteing vegetables and mixing ingredients. The silicone head can be removed from the wooden handle and placed in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. The wooden handle is made from Samak, a South-East Asian Tea Tree which is naturally anti-bacterial and handwashing is recommended. The Le Creuset craft utensils will not scratch cooking or food preparation surfaces making them ideal for non-stick cookware.
